Goat Cheese & Fig Finger Sandwich

Goat Cheese & Fig Finger Sandwich

My kid is a big fan of cream cheese and jelly sandwiches so I had the bright idea of expanding his palette by making something that looks and tastes similar but is a bit more sophisticated. I broke out the heart cookie cutter to add some intrigue. The experiment started out great. He tried goat cheese for the first time and really loved it.

Goat Cheese & Fig Finger Sandwich

We had a great time making the sandwich and even though we made it on my kids favorite kind of bread – cinnamon raisin swirl – the fig spread was not a hit. I happened to love it and at a few for my lunch! Next up, goat cheese and strawberry jam. Now for the recipe…

Spread a layer of goat cheese on one piece of cinnamon raisin swirl bread. Add a teaspoon of fig spread on top of the goat cheese. Spread and top with another piece of bread. Cut out a heart shape and repeat.

What a cute (and delicious!) sandwich! I am amazed & impressed that your son liked the goat cheese – it is such an acquired taste. In fact, my husband has just come around to developing a taste for it ;).

not only is it adorable in the heart shape, it sounds like the simplest most amazing idea. thanks for adding 10 lbs to my hips. seeing as i'm eating everything you make on this site….in enormous quantities.
